Myles is an incredible music teacher! So cool and so in touch with what my kid wanted to play and how to help him improve his skills. He had some great teaching strategies that really spoke to how my son learns best. You can see that Myles loves what he does, and that translates really well during lessons. He’s also an incredible musician.

I highly recommend Melodies for Life. You won’t regret it!

Myles is a gem! He gave singing lessons to my father, who has dementia, and he couldn't have been kinder or more patient. He tailored each lesson to my dad's ability at the time, and my father loved his lessons.

Angelina Stamer

My daughter has done vocal lessons with Myles. He is an amazing teacher. He is professional, knowledgeable and on top of that very friendly and caring. If you are looking to take music lessons I highly recommend contacting Melodies for Life.

I have taken lessons with Myles for many years to hone and develop my singing voice. Each lesson is fun and Myles has a way of teaching that made learning music enjoyable, even when you made a mistake or hit a wrong note ­-- we can easily laugh it off. With Myles' expansive breadth of musical knowledge in theory and instruments, I was able to learn and gain musical knowledge beyond the voice such as how piano accompaniment works and the basics of musical composition and phrasing. Myles is different from other teachers I have worked with -- he is patient, musically talented and encouraging in my growth. I have mature a lot in singing after taking these lessons and very grateful to have him to guide me along in my musical journey.

Myles is a great music instructor, talented across multiple instruments. Our family took bass, guitar, and singing lessons from him. He's patient and encouraging. Highly recommend Melodies for Life for those wanting to learn a new instrument or wanting to sharpen their skills.

I've taken lessons from Miles for maybe about three years now. I had only been self taught in guitar for 10 years and having a teacher like him has been instrumental in filling in gaps in my knowledge of theory and different styles of play. Myles has also helped me with songwriting and composition.

I also take singing lessons with Myles which was a brand new experience for me at the time. I'm now able to play and sing at the same time. Taking lessons at Melodies For Life has made me a more robust musician and I wish I had signed up for lessons sooner.

Myles is great! I’ve known the owner/ instructor for over twenty years even though I’ve only taken lessons for about 2.5 years. He is one of the most positive, calm, encouraging people you could ever want to meet. Teaching music is a natural extension of that temperament and his profound musical talent. I’ve seen him expertly play and teach guitar, drums, piano, bass, voice, and more. This allows him to jam with you as part of the instruction. It is a lot of fun!

Stephanie Hipps

I took drum lessons with Myles for about two years and loved it! His teaching style allows you to start playing songs right away AND also work on technical skills. I was able to rent a drum set from him until I bought my own—which he tuned for me. So awesome!!! Myles is so warm, caring, and positive—a great person in addition to being a great teacher. He is an extremely talented musician too, not sure there is an instrument he doesn’t know how to play... I highly recommend Melodies For Life!!
